The umbrella stand in the accompanying illustration shows a splendidly
shaped design. You will notice that the four uprights are curved and
twisted, fastened to two rings 10 ins. in diameter. The pan in the
bottom of the stand, placed there to catch the drippings from the
umbrellas, is made of copper and is beaten into shape in the same way
as you would drive any pan into form. This is made to fit in the base
of the stand.
To make this stand, take four pieces 1 × 1/8 in. flat soft steel, 40
ins. long. Two pieces 1 × 1/8 in., 31 ins. long, are needed for the
rings; four pieces 1 × 3/8 × 12 ins. for legs. The copper pan should be
12 ins. in diameter.
